By airing dirty laundry in front of the Marae, Eru put his ego before the waka – te Pati Māori leadership had no choice

When Eru first made his attacks on te Pati Māori leadership, it sent shockwaves through the political landscape.

The responding fire has however undermined his claims.

By airing dirty laundry in front of the Marae, Eru put his ego before the waka and te Pati Māori leadership had no choice but to expose his role in his Mothers overspending crisis and his threats of violence.

The yawning chasm of trust issues between the leadership and Mariameno is simply too wide to be tenable now, the leadership desperately attempted to work with her to solve her spending issues with her son, she seems to have utterly ignored them and they’ve been left with this enormous overspending issue, I don’t think it’s realistic that she stay on.

Every single Poll tells us Labour + Greens + Maori Party will be needed to beat this terrible Government yet all Eru has done is hand political ammunition to Mike Hosking, Don Brash, Winston Peters, Sean Plunkett and David Seymour which is why his claim, “let’s fix our whare so we can roll this blardy government”, is so facetious.

The allegations of overspending and threats of violence utterly undermine Eru’s allegations and is a reminder of what happens when ego overtakes the common good.

People desperately wanting change should be deeply disappointed in this attempt to undermine te Pati Māori.
